The "Hang in there" kitten became a cultural icon for a reason. Sure, many say they only liked the poster ironically, but whether we want to admit it or not, the image of an innocent, desperate little animal hanging onto life by one paw is...

[Update: Simon wants you to know that he is not making a Mega Man game right now. Sorry if this post led to any confusion! I still hope he makes one though, even if it's just a couple of levels...]
It's Mega Man's 30th birthday and Capcom ...

Running walking animations are easy to take for granted. When they do their job right, they look too natural to ever grab your attention while still adding energy and personality to the character. While it may look primitive now, the origin...

Like many of you, I was pretty sad that Rick and Morty Season 3 didn't have an Interdimensional Cable episode. Instead of crying about it, I tried to "channel" my disappointment into something productive. I walked my...

When VVVVVV was released on the Switch a couple of weeks ago, publisher Nicalis announced on the same day that the game was also getting a new co-op mode. It also has a couple of new graphical filters, like Isaac mode, but for the most part...

Thanksgiving is happening in parts of the world today, and for some, it's quite a struggle. The holiday has the tendency to bring people together who often avoid each other for the bulk of the year, with the hope of finding a sense of close...

In the past few years we've seen an outpouring of kids and young adults with a newfound rage over how games are localized. I feel their pain, but I also think that they don't know how good they actually have it. If you don't like how a game...

Sweet Home is the weird, ugly step-father of the Resident Evil series. Never to be sold outside of Japan, the game's mix of Dragon Quest-influenced mechanics and brutal, feel bad aesthetics weren't likely to find much of an audience on the...

[Update: And the winners are WholeWheatBagels, Exy, D-Volt and Keiichi Morisato. Check your Dtoid PMs for your Steam codes, and after you've played it, let us know about it in the comments and/or the Cblogs. We'd...

The Mummy Demastered was released just yesterday and it's already gotten more positive press than any film-to-game adaptation in recent memory. This is despite the fact the film it's named after is no longer in theaters, and the star of the...

Game Center CX, also known as Retro Game Challenge, is arguably the world's first Let's Play series. It's been a hit on Japanese TV ever since its debut in 2003, spawning multiple game spin-offs and other side projects. Satoru Iwata, the l...

[Update: NeoGAF avatars are free on PSN. Get them while you still can.]
One of the things that made NeoGAF stand out from the crowd was its strict membership policy. Unlike more accessible communities like Destructoid, you couldn't jus...

I recently asked my Twitter followers what system they'd like to see rereleased as a plug-and-play "classic" console next; the PS1, the N64, the original Xbox, or the GBA. The PS1 won by a pretty decent margin, but the most popular write-in...

I've seen a lot of great rushes come and go over the years. Sonic Rush, Sugar Rush, San Francisco Rush: 2049, Rush, and of course, August Rush are just few off the top of my head. With the rush market already over saturated to th...

There's been talk of a Tetris film for years, but from the looks of it, the critical failure of movies like Pixels and Battleship may have slowed Hollywood's enthusiasm for adapting toys and games that have no established narratives of thei...

It seems like only yesterday that I was asking you, my dear children, which game you'd like to see get the "Rebirth" treatment next. In reality, it was almost ten years ago that I wrote that post. Even worse, shortly after I asked the quest...

Remember the ill-fated Destructoid magazine? Jeez, that was fun while it lasted, but it's a darn crime that we didn't get to make more. While it may have died practically before the first issue ever went to print, a lot of good things ...

Ozzy Osbourne, founding member of Black Sabbath and star of the reality TV show The Osbournes, announced his retirement from the stage at least twice over the past of 20 years, but he went back on those promises both times.
In a 1...

It's always hard to categorize these sorts of posts. The leak of the SNES Classic was definitely a rumor, and this post is remotely in the same category as that, but what we have here is more of an opinion from a trusted source than a decla...

TumbleSeed is a passion project that Ridiculous Fishing artist Greg Wohlwend spent years of his life developing. He was surprised, and sad, to see how players reacted to it after it was released. Despite getting plenty of good reviews, the...

Slime-San gets compared to Super Meat Boy a lot, but that's a little like comparing Earthbound to Undertale. They're in the same genre, and the feel is similar, but beyond that, they're pretty darn different. Slime-San's central gameplay h...

[Update: Mayo won Europe and Japan as well. The whole world has officially been covered in the white stuff.]
First there was Brexit. Then there was Trump. Now there is... Mayo.

Splatoon 2 is finally out in the wild, and its hype levels are arguably greater now than ever before. Nintendo's newfound knack for developing competitive games that have staying power, outside of staples like Smash Bros. and Mario Ka...

When I was growing up, to openly love video games was to be a nonconformist. There was no getting around that, and in a small cliquey town where social status determined much of your experience in life, being a nonconformist meant being avo...

[Humanized Off The Hook by @eafrns]
Though the game is still a week out, Splatoon 2's first international Splatfest competition launches today via a free demo. In fact, the European leg of the battle has already started, while the Nort...

Just sampled about an hour of music that is popular here these Unsurprisingly all of it is What bothers me though is that it sounds barely different than the shit of my teenage Fucking kids these days dont even try to keep it

Mom was putting a ton of fragile decorations on the christmas Tried to warn her that we have a cat now and that it is a BAD idea, she told me she always had cats and they never touched her xmas Now Im just waiting for the

Decided to try Its Feels like DayZ when I played the mod years I dont enjoy the combat or low health, if someone sees you first you probably have no chance to fight If you do play on PC, though, go Look at that wide FOV
